Majora's Mask: What's So Funny About a Remake?

Nintendo laughs when questioned about a remake of this strange Zelda game. What does it mean?

xYLeinen3867d ago

Enjoy games as the classics as they were, instead of demading a remake..

Game should be remembered for the experience that got you to love that game.. NOTHING can change that experience. Not HD graphics, not changing the control scheme or new technology..

You're right, that's what makes OOT so special for me. I go back and play it, and every detail, all the way down to the way the heart pieces shine, makes it complete nostalgia. The way it is, I wouldn't want it changed. Even Navi, saying "Hey listen" every 5 seconds adds to it.

OT: I was thinking about Nintendo and their position on this generation. Why it wouldn't be the end of the world if they were to drop out of the console game. They are the most decorated, and successful game developers of all time. Nintendo releases nothing but quality.

If they were to become a development/handheld company. We would get to see Zelda/Mario in PS4/XB1 graphics. That would be incredible.

Worst game in the series.....what's not funny about people expecting a remake? When a majority of people need a walkthrough to beat a game that means you failed at making the design simple and complex. Walkthroughs for side things is one thing but to beat the main goal and plot of the game is ridiculous, not even Demon/Dark Souls requires a walkthrough when you play except for side things.

Having to reset the time limit every hour was also annoying and took away a lot from the game, even though progress was saved it was still annoying to run all the way back.

I beat Majora's mask when I was 10 years old. If it was too complex for you, scratch that off as opinion. I loved the game.

Also, once you acquired the Goron's Mask, running back anywhere took about 30 seconds.

Summons753867d ago

I didn't say I had a problem. I got annoyed after having to reset the clock every hour, couldn't goof around like I love to do in Zelda games in between dungeons without having to reset then run back, reset run back, stupid concept. Everyone I have ever talked too who has played it (forums and work/former school) ALWAYS had a problem with it.

"Everyone I have ever talked too who has played it (forums and work/former school) ALWAYS had a problem with it."

...I find that very, very hard to believe. Even if by some weird coincidence it WAS true, though, it doesn't change the fact that the overall consensus is overwhelmingly positive when it comes to this game.

He laughed in response to when a remake was being made for MM, as in "yeah, it will be a long time before that happens".

Wind Waker HD was to tide people over until the true next Zelda. They knew thay could remake Wind Waker with a smaller group of people while the large group is on the next Zelda.

WWHD was a once in a long time thing, they knew fans couldn't wait for a new Zelda so they did WWHD.

It will be a long time before a MMHD, based on the circumstances of WW

23 Years Ago, Nintendo Unleashed the Riskiest Zelda Sequel Ever

'The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask' is a testament to Nintendo's game development skills.

AuraAbjure324d ago

This game is so trippy when one considers Link is dead, and tripping in limbo or something.

ill never forget my first experiences with MM, and its why its my favorite zelda title

luckytrouble346d ago

Majora's Mask, a major oddity in the series as the game is shaped around the story rather than the story being shaped around the game as Nintendo usually does. It wants you to be invested in saving the world and all the unique individuals in it. The game was made so fast too, this is really its saving grace. Certain aspects of the original game technically are a bit rough (poor Z targeting getting made into jank), and the boss fights just generally aren't good in either the original or the remake. The dungeons themselves are generally actually pretty interesting, but the true draw is everything that happens outside of them ultimately.

AuraAbjure323d ago

Such a gnarly game! The gameplay is so varied because Link can transform into totally different characters. Swimming around as a Zora was so chiilll

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

ocelot07781d ago

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad781d ago (Edited 781d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07781d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad781d ago (Edited 781d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

pietro1212781d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX780d ago

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX780d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
